What it does
Investments through the Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Initiative will provide flood protection to southeastern portions of downtown Toronto, including parts of the port lands, South Riverdale, Leslieville, south of Eastern Avenue, and the First Gulf/Unilever development site. The Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Initiative terms and conditions are scheduled to expire in 2024. Through the Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Initiative, approximately 240 hectares of land will be protected from flooding, and approximately 73 hectares of brownfields will be remediated. Additionally, over 36 hectares of green space will be available for public use. Funding provided through the Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Initiative will also effectively upgrade municipal infrastructure in the area making improvements to roads, bridges, and water and wastewater systems. In the long-term, Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Initiative funding will provide opportunities for residential and commercial development, access to affordable housing, and public transit.
